Christmas terror

Paul's parents gave each son an ornament every year. Many of them are very cute, especially the ones from when Paul was very little. But some of them...

This elf/gnome creature is the most terrifying by far.* As Paul grew older, his mother selected ornaments that reflected his interests and hobbies: two different versions of Santa playing tennis, a saxophone decorated with holly, a glass beer mug covered with glitter, a blown glass Green Bay Packer... WOW! We could have quite the tree if I were willing to put up all of those babies.

* I think it reminds me of a very creepy tidbit involving an elf figurine sitting in the woods and singing on an episode of Siffl and Ollie.
